Windy City Smokeout music fest kicks off today with COVID restrictions

Jul 8, 2021

If you were planning on going to the Windy City Smokeout this weekend, I hope you either already got your vaccine or a negative COVID test back.

The Chicago music, barbecue and beer fest is back! Windy City Smokeout begins tonight and is expected to draw in thousands of people. So, the organizers are requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within 72 hours of attending the fest. So you’d better get your nose swabbed if you want to get in!

You can see the full band and BBQ line-up and more at WindyCitySmokeout.com.
